Windows supports an amazing amount of hardware right out of the box, but it can't support everything. That may mean that some hardware works, but not all the features are available. The solution's typically fairly easy. The stock answer is to go to the manufacturer of the hardware you're dealing with, and see if they have drivers specifically for it. Normally those drivers will include additional functionality not present in the generic drivers that come with Windows. In your case I would search the Dell website for drivers specific to your laptop. Dell does a good job of keeping drivers on their web sites for most of their models. I'd expect that they will add the functionality you're looking for. Start here at at the Dell Support Site. Related:
